Well done, Nick.... Very well done...!!!

On this day 6 years ago I became the first official member of The Office of Steam Forum.

The next day, March 1st 2019, new members included Jim, Scott, Bruce, Charlie, Rog, and Nick. All are members of our forum team.
Shortly afterward on March 4th Danny (Nuvolari) joined our team and on March 11th Daniel (Stoker) joined us.

We have another member I added March 1st named Team.
Team was added to use in the event a particularly abrasive member needed to be addressed by the entire team leaving no individual team member to blame. I got this idea from the Mamod Forums where it was used and perhaps overused for similar purposes. A notice from the "Team" was particularly annoying as there was no one member to reach out to for discussion.
I am very proud of our members and pleased to say that our forum has never needed to activate Team. All participants here have been particularly well behaved allowing us all to gain the greatest enjoyment on our boards.

By March 9th 2019 we had 106 members and now we have 919 members.

Now..... Place your beverage orders.
First round is on me!

Thank you all,

Gil

I might have to stick to coffee and Red Bull this morning and save the good stuff for the night of the show… I’ve got way too much packing to do 😂

Hopefully everything is setup and working right for the online show, I haven’t messed with it for awhile and did it from my phone on a lunch break :D

Thank you kindly for the offer Gil, think I'll have an Anchor STEAM Beer with two fingers of Lagavulin 16 on the side.

As long as I'm thanking you for the virtual libations you've offered, I had best also thank you for the very real STEAM FORUM that you have brought into existence for us all to enjoy!!!
